Sound Not Working on Easy Peasy 1.1 [Solved]

Easy Peasy is a Linux distro fully based on Ubuntu, designed specifically for netbooks. To the uninitiated, it is the formerly known as Ubuntu EEE. And while I now have my Asus 1000HE, I decided to install Easy Peasy 1.0 on my old EEE PC 701. But my initial attempt did not bring me luck on the sound part.

In the Easy Peasy Live USB, everything works normally from sound to wireless. But when I installed the OS to the SSD, sound seems to conflict with other processes. I was unable to fix it before so I moved back to using XP.

When the Easy Peasy 1.1 was released, I decided to give it another try and out of the box, sound still doesn’t work. But I was able to configure it and it now works perfectly.

Here’s the setting that works for me which probably work for you too.

In the Preference > Sound, I selected the following settings.

And on the Volume control, make sure that Playback is set to ASLA PCM and Master is not on mute.

I hope this article helps you too.

In the meantime, I need to find a solution to the wifi. Fn + F2 doesn’t seem to work… The LED is also on whether the wireless is active or not.
